You will own end-to-end feature delivery, contribute to technical design decisions, and help raise engineering standards across a collaborative Agile team.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Build, and maintain .NET Core backend services and RESTful APIs, including controller design, middleware, dependency injection, authentication (JWT/OAuth2), and API versioning.
• Build and maintain React.js front-end components, including state management (Redux or Context API), responsive UI design, and integration with .NET Core API backends.
• Maintain MS SQL Server database schemas, stored procedures, views, and queries (SQL Server 2016 or above), while applying relational data modeling best practices for enterprise application workloads.
• Lead technical design for complex features by translating business requirements into well-structured API contracts, data models, and front-end component architecture.
• Integrate applications with internal enterprise systems and third-party REST APIs, defining integration patterns and handling authentication flows, data transformation, and error management.
• Drive code quality within the team, conduct thorough code reviews, identify technical debt, and recommend improvements to engineering standards and patterns.
• Apply the full SDLC across the application portfolio, including design, development, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Debug and resolve production issues across .NET Core, MS SQL Server, and React layers, maintain technical documentation, and participate in Agile ceremonies and CI/CD delivery practices using Azure DevOps.

Who You Are:

You readily take on new challenges and display a can-do attitude in good and difficult times. You act with a clear sense of ownership and take personal responsibility for decisions, actions, and failures. You effectively communicate in various settings and provide timely, helpful information to individuals across the organization. You partner with others to get work done and create teamwork that allows the organization to achieve shared objectives. You are curious and eager to learn and you seek feedback, grow from it, and continuously improve your craft.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5–8 years of experience in full-stack web development with hands-on delivery in .NET Core and React.
• Strong proficiency in building REST API services using ASP.NET Core, including controller and route design, dependency injection, middleware pipeline, model validation, and authentication (JWT/OAuth2).
• Solid experience building React applications with modern JavaScript (ES6+), state management (Redux or Context API), hooks, responsive design, and integration with .NET Core REST API backends.
• Strong hands-on experience with MS SQL Server, including complex T-SQL queries, stored procedures, views, indexes, schema design, and query performance tuning.
• Experience designing, versioning, and consuming REST APIs, solid understanding of HTTP patterns, authentication (JWT, OAuth2, API key), and integration with third-party enterprise services.
• Demonstrated ability to lead feature design, conduct meaningful code reviews, and drive engineering best practices within a delivery team.
• Solid familiarity with Git branching strategies, Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD tools, and sprint-based delivery with strong English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart

• Experience with .NET 6/7/8 features: minimal APIs, SignalR, background services (IHostedService, Worker Services), or gRPC.
